my visit was about 3 hours which had been explained in advance. Mr Scott was upbeat and engaged with me and my test results positively and without trying to sugar coat things. he was carefull in the tests he ran although they were alittle offputting. I felt he looked carefully at my symptoms and explained his diagnosis and the reasoning behind it thoroughly . i was involved in the plan that emerged and within the limited parameters felt heardand part of the decision making. I came home both comfortable with the way forward able to explain what was going on to my partner! Thank you Mr Scott!
